Patent

CA 2243806

Ink decoration applied to bottles during a dwell period at decoration stations of an intermittent motion decorating machine is cured during a dwell period while the bottles dwell at curing stations, each downstream of a decorating station. A bottle rotator at each curing station is joined by a tie rod to drive a bottle rotator at a decorating station. An alternative embodiment provides separate drive motors for a decorating and a curing station and control of the motors is provided by the same control signal to rotate bottles during a dwell period. Restraint rails and rotators at all decoration and curing stations prevent loss of an established orientation between each bottle and each decoration screen at each decorating station. The established orientation can be established by an indexer at the bottle receiving end of the decorating machine.
